Flashback: NASA’s James Hansen’s growing financial scandal, now over a million dollars of outside income — ‘Hansen, an astronomer, received approximately $1.6 million in outside, direct cash income in the past five years for work related to —and, according to his benefactors, often expressly for —his public service as a global warming activist’

Warmist headbangers go ape over Heartland finance leak: Warmists ‘think this is some kind of equivalent to Climategate (v1 and v2), which demonstrated widespread scientific fraud, manipulation of data, destruction of emails and avoidance of FOI requests on the part of the consensus boys’

‘Climategate emails reveal: a concerted effort to manipulate and/or suppress inconvenient data; a desire to minimise uncertainty in order to maintain a consistent political ‘message’; attempts to subvert & corrupt peer-review process; &, evidence of destruction of docs in contravention of FOI. UEA is publicly funded, which, as a result, should be thoroughly transparent in its operations, whereas Heartland is a purely private org. which does not draw upon public purse’

‘The real scandal is that it took a private organization like Heartland to compile hundreds of peer-reviewed scientific publications which suggest that increasing Co2 in atmosphere might not be a problem for humanity or biosphere. This is what IPCC should have done,if it had any scientific objectivity…I hope it leads to even more donations to Heartland,which has played role of David in its battle against Goliath multi-billion dollar climate alarmist machine’
